Get samples, and lots (read: LOTS!!!) of them, without a decent library of good sounding samples you'll end up making Casio beats and basslines sounding like kitten-farts! (who used this word for the first time again? it just sticks in my brain :) )
You can find a lot of links to good sample sites on the sites mentioned below, and there's always Google. Check out www.dnbproduction.com, there's info on how you can get on their FTP server, which also has a nice load of good samples onboard to get you started. I think the Jungle Warfare CD's (or parts of it) are on there ? ------------------------ On 22 Aug 2002 at 15:16, Tom Sprynczynatyk wrote: > First off, clear your schedule for the next year or so. :-) You don't know it yet, > but the amount you have to learn in order to end up with anything that doesn't sound > like it was made on a Casio is astounding.
